About the Item
Vintage hardback monograph on the life and work of Alexander Calder. By Gérard-Georges Lemaire, translated from the French by Sophie Hawkes, published by Harry N. Abrams, Inc. in 1991. First edition, 64 pages. Part of the Great Modern Masters series.
"Calder's art—witty, buoyant, and structurally daring—transformed sculpture through movement and balance. This richly illustrated volume, featuring 69 images including 54 in full color, offers a concise study of the artist’s evolution from early wire portraits to the invention of the mobile. With insightful commentary, it captures Calder’s role in reshaping 20th-century art, highlighting his inventive forms, kinetic compositions, and unmistakable visual language. A compelling introduction for collectors and admirers of modern sculpture."
